After numerous rounds of CNN reporting that "....we don't even know if
Saddam is still alive", Saddam himself decided to send George Bush a
letter in his own writing to let his "friend" know that he is still in
the game. Bush, at the White House opened the letter and it appeared to
contain a coded message:
370HSSV-0773H
Mr. Bush obviously couldn't figure it out so he typed it in and e-mailed
Colin Powell. Colin and his aids had NO CLUE either so they sent it to
the CIA. No one could solve it there so it went to the NSA (National
Security Council)and then to MIT (Massachussetts Institute of
Technology) and NASA (National Aeronautics & Space Administration)
and the cc list just got longer and longer.
Eventually it arrived at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Dr.
Greenspan looked at it and replied the very next second:
"Perhaps the President would wish to look at the message up-side-down...!"
So much for coded messages......roger...over...
